However, they eventually suppressed the anger in their hearts."Grandmaster Burrey, please have more of these wild mountain mushrooms. They're very delicious!" Scott sat back down as if nothing had happened, even serving Liam a helping of the dish. While doing so, he casually asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, your medical skills are extraordinary. May I ask who your teacher was?""The person who taught me medicine was a scruffy old man," Liam replied, keeping his head down, focused on his meal.Scott continued to probe. "To have trained someone as remarkable as you, Grandmaster Burrey, your teacher must be extraordinary as well! May I know your teacher's name?""I don't know what his name is," Liam shook his head.Liam only knew his master as Dante, but he truly did not know his full name. However, Scott seemed to misunderstand Liam's words, taking it as a snub. His expression darkened even further.However, Liam suddenly looked up and said calmly, "You've been asking me questions
Liam narrowed his eyes slightly as he calmly asked, "Is your commitment to saving lives limited to the wealthy, ignoring the poor?"Scott shook his head. "Grandmaster Burrey, I don't agree with your statement. In our medical community, we have never ignored the poor to only treat the wealthy. Even when Naomi's condition deteriorated, we didn't abandon her. Miss Gunter stepped in to help."Scott continued, as if it was self-evident. "However, human energy is limited, and naturally, we can only care for a finite number of patients. In contrast, Grandmaster Burrey, you've just saved one little girl, yet you speak with such righteous indignation."Scott frowned at Liam, feeling a growing aversion to his repeated criticisms."I've never lost the heart of a healer," Liam replied calmly, raising his head."You..."Otto was momentarily stunned, taken aback by Liam's overt disdain and sarcasm.Scott's eyes glinted with coldness as he listened to Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, since you've ma
The inheritance of medical arts was an incredibly secretive matter.Scott and Otto proposed that Liam hand over all the medical texts he knew to the Medical Guild.To Raaina, it was nothing short of blatant robbery. She could not understand how Scott and Otto could demand such a thing right after Liam had saved Naomi's life!Scott turned his head, looking at her with a shameless smile. "Miss Raaina, don't you think this is a noble cause?"Raaina hesitated before speaking. "Elder Winston, asking Grandmaster Burrey to hand over so many medical texts all at once might be inappropriate! After all, some medical techniques have always been passed down to only one disciple..."Scott's eyes flashed with displeasure as he waved his hand dismissively. "Inappropriate? What's inappropriate about it? At a time like this, you're still talking about single-line inheritance. Look, I even let Grandmaster Burrey freely browse through the texts of our Healing Hall, didn't I?"Otto nodded with a smi
The moment Liam spoke, Scott's eyes widened. His gloomy face flashed with anger."Young man, who gave you the courage to speak to us this way? Don't think that just because you're skilled in medicine, you can do whatever you want here!"Seeing Scott finally drop his facade and reveal his true self, Liam could not help but smile."I have no intention of doing whatever I want. Instead, you were the ones who demanded that I reveal all my medical knowledge to you. Isn't that the real arrogance here?"With the confrontation out in the open, Otto's expression also turned grim."We consider it a privilege for you to leave your medical texts with us. Otherwise, do you think a mere youngster like you is qualified to sit at the table with us? Let me tell you, you'd better behave yourself, or else you'll regret it!"Liam's face showed a hint of amusement. "As I said, I can't hand over my medical texts to a couple of unworthy individuals. So, what do you plan to do about it?"In the next mo
Scott had already decided to keep Liam in the Medical Guild.The Zodiac Twelve—the guild's guardians—were composed of members with extraordinary martial arts skills. Some of them even specialized in firearms!Even in her wildest dreams, Raaina never imagined that Scott would deploy the Zodiac Twelve against Liam."Grandmaster Burrey..."Faced with this scene, Qassim's expression turned into one of utter panic. He never thought that Scott and Otto would be so vile!Regret filled Qassim's heart. He truly should not have invited Liam to the Medical Guild!However, as he watched everything unfold before him, Liam's gaze remained calm as he shook his head."When I first came to the Medical Guild, I thought it was as Qassim described—a paradise created to protect the ancient Hestian medicine. Now, it's clear that the guild has long lost its essence, or perhaps because of people like you two, who have no heart of a healer and aren't worthy of being called human, that the guild has beco
The moment Liam's words echoed, Scott's eyes suddenly hardened."It was you!"At that time, Scott and Otto had met the influential Julian during an opportunity to go down the mountain. They discovered the immense influence of the Hill family throughout the Qyn Province and even the northwest region.Thus, after returning to the mountain, the two began devising a series of plans targeting the Hill family, aiming to seize their enormous wealth.With meticulous preparation, Scott used an unexpected incident to poison Julian. Initially, they only needed to wait for Julian to die from the poison, and their organization could, through pre-arranged plans, seize control of the Hill family amid the ensuing chaos in just a few days.However, unexpectedly, when everything was ready and all that was left was for Julian to pass away, Scott never received news of the poison taking effect. That situation made Scott increasingly anxious.He sent Triboar and Serpentine to gather information, but
Scott ignored Raaina as he coldly looked at Otto."That little brat can handle Triboar and the Serpentine, so he must know some martial arts. When you make your move, be careful. The most important thing is to leave that brat alive. What's in his head is crucial to the Medical Guild!""Don't worry, Elder Winston!" Otto responded with a sinister grin.The next moment, there was a thunderous boom.Otto's body seemed to swell like a cannonball, hurtling toward Liam!At the same time, the Zodiac Twelve Warriors, led by Draco, vanished in a flash. Though they thought the young man before them could not possibly be a match, each member of the Zodiac Warriors was seasoned. They would not underestimate any opponent.Thus, they went all out from the start, though they followed Scott's orders to spare his life.Raaina shouted at Liam, seeing the situation spiral beyond control."Grandmaster Burrey! Run! Quickly! Mister Hansworth is a martial arts Master! You're no match for them! Get out
In the Medical Guild, there was more than just medical skills to be learned.Otto had learned much more than medicine in the Medical Guild. Even in ancient medical texts, it was recorded that only by mastering one's own body could one better understand it and heal others.When Otto joined the Medical Guild at the age of 13, he began studying both medicine and martial arts.His talent was indeed exceptional. Not only did his medical skills continuously improve, but he also achieved significant success in martial arts.Before long, Otto reached the threshold of external energy release, becoming a grandmaster in martial arts. With the help of the rare treasures hidden within the Medical Guild, Otto quickly achieved a breakthrough and became a martial arts Master. In fact, Otto's achievements in martial arts far exceeded his medical skills. Not to mention, Otto had mastered the Iron Line Fist—a technique known for its sheer strength.Upon achieving his breakthrough, Otto clearly fel
